feb. 27 food

Lunch: steamed kale with a sesame-rutabaga sauce. This is one of my all-time favorite dishes, which probably indicates that I am very weird. fruit salad, 2 carrots. part of a smoothie when I was making a new batch to freeze.

Dinner: big easy salad, two baked beets. an apple. I wasn't hungry by the time I got to the apple but I ate it anyway and it was delicious. The beets were like dessert (top right in the picture). I just ate them as is after baking them in their skins. Yum! The salad had lots of lettuce and arugula, some edamame and corn, 4 olives (unsalted!) cutup, yellow and orange bell pepper, and 1 Tbsp Dr. Fuhrman's D'Angou Pear vinegar. It was really good.

This is the same amount of calories I had yesterday. I woke up a bit hungry this morning. Does that mean it's not enough? But I feel I had plenty to eat today. I didn't get hungry for dinner until 6:30 pm. Finished dinner at 7:30 pm. According to some website I googled, I should eat 1800 calories per day. But the fact that I get cold a lot means my metabolism is probably lower than average. So maybe 1500 calories is the right amount.

About this blog

I'm sharing my experiences on what I prefer to eat. I am similar to Mad-Eye Moody (a Harry Potter character) in that, for the most part, I only eat food I prepare myself. How else can I avoid added salt, oil, sugar, refined grains, and animal products? As someone who doesn't like to be the center of attention, I try to do this as discreetly as possible. But I think they're on to me. Fortunately, none of them know about my blog.
